Android 4.4 KitKat launch in October confirmed by Nestle

Revealing the news via the Nestle Germany page, the chocolate maker has announced an October launch for Google’s next mobile OS.

Nestle Germany replied to one Facebook user asking when Android KitKat would be making an official appearance.

“Android 4.4 KitKat is available from October”, came the reply from Nestle Germany.

Google unveiled Android 4.4 KitKat at the beginning of this month, revealing its next mobile OS would be named after one of its favourite chocolate treats rather than the Key Lime Pie everyone expected.

Despite revealing the name of the next iteration of Android, Google failed to offer any information on the OS’ launch date or any of its new features.

“Android is the operating system that powers over 1 billion smartphones and tablets. Since these devices make our lives so sweet, each Android version is named after a dessert: Cupcake, Donut, Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean,” reads the official site. “As everybody finds it so difficult to stay away from chocolate we decided to name the next version of Android after one of our favourite chocolate treats, KitKat!”
